Track Insight / Lyrics
Dust motes dance in golden haze
A forgotten dream of bygone days
Faded paint and peeling skin
Watching the world rush quickly in.
Steel bones aching in the sun
Ninety-four, the race is run
Family trips and whispered pleas
Lost in the wind among the trees.
Headlights cracked, a weary sigh
Watching lovers hurry by
Promise held, then slipped away
Another ghost of yesterday.
Rust and chrome, a fading gleam
Lost highway, a waking dream
Billboard king, I stand and stare
At a world that doesn't seem to care.
Vinyl seats, a sweet perfume
Echoes of a summer bloom
Radio waves, a static call
Remembering faces, standing tall.
Headlights cracked, a weary sigh
Watching lovers hurry by
Promise held, then slipped away
Another ghost of yesterday.
Rust and chrome, a fading gleam
Lost highway, a waking dream
Billboard king, I stand and stare
At a world that doesn't seem to care.
Rain streaks down my metal face
Washing away time and space
Every dent a story told
Of journeys brave and winters cold.
Rust and chrome, a fading gleam
Lost highway, a waking dream
Billboard king, I stand and stare
At a world that doesn't seem to care.
Teenage hands upon the wheel
Searching for something truly real
Open roads and endless skies
Reflected in their hopeful eyes.
Rust and chrome, a fading gleam
Lost highway, a waking dream
Billboard king, I stand and stare
At a world that doesn't seem to care.
Now the colors start to bleed
A relic of a forgotten need
But still I watch, a silent friend
Until the very, bitter end.
Rust and chrome, a vibrant gleam
Lost highway, a waking dream
Billboard king, I stand and stare
At a world beyond compare!
Fading light, a gentle breeze
Whispering through the lonely trees
Rust and chrome, forever free
A memory for you and me.
